Liberty Pursuing a 5-0 Start

Through four games, the Liberty Flames have yet to lose a contest during the 2024 college football season. The Flames are 4-0, winning three of their first four games by double-digits. Liberty has already won two games in Conference USA play this season, putting them at the top of the conference standings before nearly half of the teams in that conference have played a league game. Here, the Flames move back to non-conference action, but that is still significant to them as they have their sights set on finishing as the highest-ranked Group of Five conference champion, which would earn them a College Football Playoff spot.

App State Hoping to Get Back Above .500

Going into this week's Liberty vs App State game, the Appalachian State Mountaineers have split their first four games of the season. In their last outing, the Mountaineers lost their Sun Belt Conference opener in blowout fashion against the South Alabama Jaguars despite App State entering that matchup as a favorite. It will be fascinating to see how App State responds to the disappointment of that loss, especially while they will be tasked with overcoming a very talented opponent in Liberty.

Liberty vs App State Best Bet

Right now, the Liberty Flames are the more consistent of the two teams in Saturday's Liberty vs Appalachian State clash on the gridiron. While Boone is certainly not an easy place to play given the recent success that App State has had there, Liberty has proven that it can beat most teams regardless of where games are being contested. We will lay the points with Liberty as a favorite on the road here as they should be able to improve to 5-0 and start to build a case for their inclusion in the CFP.
